Lingerie for couples: Shopping tips prior to honeymoon

Lisa in San Cupertino, California, is about to get married next month and is then off to her honeymoon in Italy. She writes, "While my fiance is my highschool sweetheart, we have never been physically intimate. We have hugged and kissed and that is where we stopped. Now I want to give him my virginity that I have saved for him. I am reasonably attractive but need your advice if I should shop for lingerie?"

As we at LuvCube have been saying all along, men are very visual creatures. While we expect that since it is going to be first time for both of you, you both are quite excited about it and will have no problem in being attractive to each other, but still it is an excellent idea to shop for lingerie to make it special. We have also found that it is not only women who are shopping for lingerie prior to their honeymoon now. Even men are now realizing that they need to do the same if they want to look attractive to their bride. You probably do not know what he is going to do; so it is best that you shop for him as well and surprise him with lingerie gifts. He will not disappoint you and will definitely wear them for you.

Points to consider while shopping for lingerie

• Since it is intimate apparel and will touch your body at all times, you want to look for high-quality fabrics. Different people have different preferences but silk, lace, and cotton work for most people. Some people do not mind nylon but you can choose whatever you like.
• Remember that lingerie for honeymoon has to be more elegant and attractive than what you would wear on a daily basis though a recent survey of LuvCube members showed that more than 75% of young women were partial to elegant lingerie on a daily basis.

• Brand name lingerie is always a safe bet. Not only are you guaranteed choice of good-quality fabrics, but these are also well-engineered for proper support. Our preference is Victoria's Secret, and if you can afford it, La Perla.
• The final point to remember is the aesthetics of lingerie. Since it is your honeymoon, you want to select something that is very attractive, colorful, and looks good on you. No matter, how attractive, if it does not suit you and fit you, it should not be bought.
• We are also assuming that you know what your sizes are. If not, it is always a good idea to get yourself measured by a professional. That way you know that you are going to buy something that fits you well. The best place to go to is a local lingerie store though you do not have to shop there. The current trend is to shop online since the choices are much wider.

Tips for lingerie shopping for men

Many men still do not understand the concept of "lingerie for men" and may feel too shy. A large number of men believe that lingerie is only for women. That is no longer true. Women are increasingly demanding that men also wear attractive outfits in the bedroom. However, since it is the first time he will be wearing lingerie, you might want to buy something that is not too bold. Keep in mind what his preference for colors and fabrics are. That way you can be sure that he will wear it for you.
